Synapse-glia interactions at the mammalian neuromuscular junction.
Perisynaptic Schwann cells (PSCs) play critical roles in regulating and stabilizing nerve terminals at the mammalian neuromuscular junction (NMJ). However, although these functions are likely regulated by the synaptic properties, the interactions of PSCs with the synaptic elements are not known. Therefore, our goal was to study the interactions between mammalian PSCs in situ and the presynaptic...
متن کاملSignal Transduction at a Protein Synapse
Contraction of the bacteriophage T4 tail in the act of host cell penetration represents a massive structural change powered by conformational free energy. A paper in this issue of Cell by compares cryo-electron microscopic reconstructions of the initial and final states and reveals that the basic underlying mechanism is concerted rigid-body movements of the constituent protein subunits, akin to...
متن کاملSelected SALM (synaptic adhesion-like molecule) family proteins regulate synapse formation.
Synaptic cell adhesion molecules regulate various steps of synapse formation. Despite the great diversity of neuronal synapses, relatively few adhesion molecules with synaptogenic activity have been identified. Synaptic adhesion-like molecules (SALMs) are members of a family of cell adhesion molecules known to regulate neurite outgrowth and synapse maturation; however, the role of SALMs in syna...
متن کاملCysteine-string protein: the chaperone at the synapse.
Cysteine-string protein (Csp) is a major synaptic vesicle and secretory granule protein first discovered in Drosophila and Torpedo. Csps were subsequently identified from Xenopus, Caenorhabditis elegans, and mammalian species. It is clear from the study of a null mutant in Drosophila that Csp is required for viability of the organism and that it has a key role in neurotransmitter release. In ad...
متن کاملProtein-Protein Interactions at the Adrenergic Receptors
The adrenergic receptors are among the best characterized G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and knowledge on this receptor family has provided several important paradigms about GPCR function and regulation. One of the most recent paradigms initially supported by studies on adrenergic receptors is that both βarrestins and G proteincoupled receptors themselves can act as scaffolds binding a var...
